I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
As I was leaving the marsh tonight, I stopped to grab one last photo of this great egret silhoutted by the setting sun.

Saved the best for last then !..great last shot 😀

Well…it was the last shot of the night anyway.
I also got some Ibis crabbing, GBH portraits, and osprey flights that I’ll have to get to at some point. 🙂
Thanks for checking out this pic!

a wee bit special – for me it is the movement in the water and hint o light on the wave the bird is creating

This is most elegant! Just discovered that there are a couple of egrets on Oregon. Shall search and hopefully get a shot of my favorite bird. Thanks for sharing.
